Given demands in South Africa ‘to decolonise’, I argue that to decolonise is more complex and challenging than currently constitutes the discourse of decolonisation, either in South Africa or the globe. Focusing on the Humanities, more specifically on literature – with reference to Ngũgĩ’s ‘Nairobi Literature Debate’ of the late 1960s – I frame discussion ‘in-between’ two significant gatherings, Bandung (1955) and the 10th BRICS Summit (2018), the former identified by Robert JC Young and Walter Mignolo as a marker in both postcolonial and decolonial ‘theory’; the latter, in a shift between an earlier ideology-speak and the trade-investment speak of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. What might be the consequence of such an in-between space for research, teaching and curriculum design?
期刊介绍:
Current Writing: Text and Reception in Southern Africa is published bi-annually by Routledge. Current Writing focuses on recent writing and re-publication of texts on southern African and (from a ''southern'' perspective) commonwealth and/or postcolonial literature and literary-culture. Works of the past and near-past must be assessed and evaluated through the lens of current reception. Submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed by at least two referees of international stature in the field. The journal is accredited with the South African Department of Higher Education and Training.
